Mur Game Review

Dutch chess player, mathematician, author, and chess administrator Max Euwe, said, "Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation." It also takes patience. In this game, you build up your plays, taking the time to adjust according to future opportunities. It's a game of small moves to big wins. It's also a game that will make your head hurt and your brain simmer. Not for the faint of heart, but most certainly a game every strategist and tactician should play.

Poker Assault Game Review

Two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion, a Poker Hall of Fame inductee, and the author of several books on Poker, Doyle Brunson, said, "Poker is War. People pretend it is a game." Poker is a game (most certainly not war) played around the world at homes and casinos. People play the game for fun and a living. In this game, the rules of Poker are used to build an attack against your opponent who must defend it or lose their Poker chips. Adding to the mix are different factions, ensuring that every hand you play is much more than your standard Poker game and really much more like a fight. Huh... Doyle was right.

How far would you go? In this game, full of dark and moody themes, you will take a journey with one man who will go to strange and terrifying places, all in the name of love and redemption.

Covert Cues Game Review

American former computer intelligence consultant who leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency, Edward Snowden, said, "Every person remembers some moment in their life where they witnessed some injustice, big or small, and looked away because the consequences of intervening seemed too intimidating. But there's a limit to the amount of incivility and inequality, and inhumanity that each individual can tolerate. I crossed that line. And I'm no longer alone." Whether you believe that Mr. Snowden is a hero or a criminal is irrelevant. What is relevant is that we've all been in situations where we know that something is off and are compelled to act out to correct it. That's a hard mental place to be and a lonely one, at that. Going against the established "norm" feels wrong to everyone else who doesn't see what you see. In this game, you'll be taking on the role of such an individual, but you aren't alone. There is another who also wants things to change. The trick is to find them without outing yourself.
